Turboflame 'clean burn' technology means it can also melt synthetic materials without depositing black carbon, so outdoor equipment can be quick fixed without discolouration. Outdoor enthusiasts include Turbo flame in their emergency kits to melt p-tex, seal micro - cracks in boards and canoes, cut and seal PARA rope and blast rust from metal. Turboflame work up to 3000 metres altitude and don't 'self-combust' at high altitudes.
